President of the Association Chinedu Okoronkwo told journalists in in Lagos that having functional refineries was in the best interest of the nation at this point in time. He also noted that the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine had escalated the prices of petroleum products at the international market and had led to scarcity of the products in Nigeria.
According to the IPMAN, the situation has made it imperative for government to vigorously pursue the rehabilitation of the nation’s refineries while creating the enabling environment for more private owned refineries.
Okoronkwo said the rehabilitation of the refineries would give Nigeria about 400,000 Barrels Per Day, while the Dangote and BUA refineries, which were under construction, had 650,000 BPD and 200,000 Barrels Per Day.
He however noted that other modular refineries such as the Waltersmith Refinery, Duport Refinery, Atlantic Refinery and the Azikel Hydro-skimming Refinery would also boost in-country refining of petroleum products.

Philippines: President Duterte Signs Law Criminalizing Child Marriage - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Publisher (A.M)
January 6, 2022
The impoverished Southeast Asian country has the 12th-highest number
of child marriages in the world with long-held cultural practices and
gender inequality hindering change.
But a new law, signed by President Rodrigo Duterte and released to the
public on Thursday, lays out prison terms of up to 12 years for marrying
or cohabiting with anyone under 18.
People arranging or solemnising underage unions also face the same
penalty.
The government says the law is consistent with international
conventions on the rights of women and children.
However, some portions of the legislation have been suspended for one
year to allow for a transition period for Muslims and indigenous
communities in which child marriage is relatively common.
A report last year by the United Nations Children’s Fund said more than
half a billion girls and women worldwide were married in childhood,
with the highest rates found in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
But recent data indicates the practice is generally in decline on average
across the globe.

UNICEF Chief of Education, Saadhna Panday-Soobrayan, disclosed this in Abuja on Tuesday, at a two-day National Awareness Creation Meeting on Ending Corporal Punishment in schools, organised by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN, in collaboration with UNICEF.
She described the discussion on ending corporal punishment in schools
as difficult and heart-breaking, stating however that the presence of
participants at the meeting was a testament to Nigeria’s determination to
uphold every child’s right to safety, well-being and quality, inclusive education.
According to her, the persistence of these practices contradicts Nigeria’s
National Policy on Safety, Security and Violence-Free Schools, which commits to zero-tolerance to any threat to the security of life and
property in schools.
She also noted that the practice is stalling Nigeria’s progress toward SDG 3 to ensure good health and well-being, SDG 4 on equitable and inclusive quality education and target 16.2 to end abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children.

A United States court has granted Nigeria permission to investigate bank transactions involving former President Goodluck Jonathan, his wife Patience, former Petroleum Resources Minister Diezani Allison-Madueke and other top government officials.
These politicians were in office when the country signed a contract with a company, Process and Industrial Development Limited, which has become a source of dispute.
The New York Federal Court’s ruling followed the Federal Government’s application to it for official access to the bank’s records on the former president and his erstwhile petroleum minister.
Nigeria’s chances of annulling the giant penalty lie on proving the 2010 gas supply arrangement was a sham designed to fail by P&ID and government officials.
The saga became a full-blown crisis for Nigeria last August when a U.K. judge ruled that P&ID could enforce an arbitration tribunal’s 2017 ruling, now totaling 9.6 billion dollars including interest, which found the country breached the agreement.

Planned Petrol Subsidy Removal: NLC Suspends Jan 27-Feb 2 Nationwide Protest - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Publisher (A.M)
January 25, 2022
The congress took the decision at its National Executive Council
meeting held virtually on Tuesday.
The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, who broke the news at a press
conference hinged the decision to suspend the protests on the reversal of
the Federal Government’s plan to stop the subsidy on petrol.
He said members of the NLC who had been mobilised would be
demobilised following the decision to suspend the protests.
The labour leader said the congress has communicated the decision to its
civil society allies who have stood stoically behind Nigerian workers in
their quest for social and economic justice.
The union argued that the attendant effect of the proposed removal of
petrol subsidy would push the pump price of petrol to between N320 and
N340 per litre.
This, it noted, would have exacerbated the inflation in the country,
deepened poverty, heightened social tensions and push the country and
millions of poor citizens to the very precipice.
